Butternut Squash Soup

Serves 8 / Celebrate the abundant fall harvest with this velvety, healthy soup. Butternut squash has a smooth and creamy texture and is easy to work with; it’s also a rich source of beta-carotene, potassium, and fiber. Pears contribute sweetness and additional fiber to the soup (you can substitute apples for the pears). The ginger adds a warm spiciness, plus it’s great for digestion.
